Wishing Well

 

Wish me well
Old Wishing Well
These coins I toss
my dreams to tell

Once I wished for things
far fetched
'tis only one rainbow,now
which I seek to catch.

 

Wish me well
Old Wishing Well
I'm seeking to retrieve
treasures of my destinies

Bring back those things once lost
in my heart at any cost
'lest my treasures become Miseries

 

Wish me well
Old Wishing Well
my wish come true I yearn
I once wished love be gone
now wish for its return.

'Alas 'Tis Wishing
       too little 
               too late
                  I've learned

Your use of the words "wish" and "well" in this poem was very effective. "Wish me well/ old wishing well..." It's like a person is teetering on the brink. One on hand, they're about to plunge into the dark, cold water of their wish not coming true; yet, there is a sense of hope too. The hope is almost childlike:complete, whole, and trusting. I also thought that your use of the color lavender for the poem added to that innocent wish.

I think that your poem has a very strong message. It's asking people to examine their past and the mistakes that they might have made, though it is not written to be overly depressing. Good work!!

Nice lesson in the message.. I think we always need to have at least one unfullfilled wish it keeps us leaving and moving towards a goal. Love does flee but it also returns in the form of another. I enjoyed this poem it was fresh and read very nicely.

How beautiful.

I love this poem, "I once wished love be gone ... now wish for its return." We all wish for love to let us be, especially after a painful heartbreak. But its never too later for love to return, the "Old Wishing Well" will make "my wish come true I yearn."
